Stem plants are usually cuttings of plants that normally don't come with roots. This is how stem plants are sold in the aquatic plant industry although at times my stem plants may come with roots because I have been growing them out. All stem plants come with a plant weight that holds the plant in place and is safe for your tank.

To plant just let the weight lay on your substrate and the stems will grow roots throughout your substrate. You can also plant the tips, about 1/4" in your substrate if you prefer.

These showed up quickly and were packed well. I enjoy having this plant in my tank. The leaves change color depending on the temperature. I slowly acclimated it to my 5 gallon quartine tank will be adding it to my 65 gallon bowfront. I will add pictures in a week or so of them in the large tank.
